"don't eat the pictures," ha---I was a little worries about touching or tapping paintings or very ancient statues (more my worry, most likely). I didn't think that Charlie seemed to respond to any of the art particularly---think there was just to much to take in. Keith Haring, I have thought of him too as someone whose work might appeal to Charlie---the bold colors and lines, and, M, I really like how you put it, if art with these features might appeal to him: <blockquote>"Clearly defined parameters, everything contained yet vibrant. Boundaries adhered to. Visually rich yet with enough space to disperse the intensity of it."</blockquote> Charlie's always been drawn to color (primaries and bold---no pastels) and to shapes. Mondrian, hmmm....... Maybe Brancusi? yes I do think he wanted to “hold onto the day more” (love that idea!).

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:06:38 +0000 http://www.autismvox.com/we-go-to-the-met/#comment-552434 Sounds like a nice day indeed. We are getting ready for our trip to NYC this summer (your posts about your walks through the city always make me smile). I am excited to show the girls (within their comfort zone, of course--our plans often change to fit 'their' plans...ya know!) all the sights and sounds of the city. To help prepare my youngest, I found 2 great books (one is 123 NYC, the other ABC NYC) with tons of pictures related to NYC. Now, onto making social-stories for plane and subway rides, and seeing relatives. :) Sounds like a nice day indeed.

It's so great when you successfully try a new kind of outing. We went to an Earth Day celebration yesterday, and everybody had a good time (in their own, idiosyncratic ways). That sounds wonderful.
